We got a big show for you
on a Wednesday, as usual. I got my man Chris Animals dropping it on it right there. Keeping it's so hot that we sweat steam. We are here to help you win your leagues and win that cash. And I gotta say big shout out to the hashtag stats over
beat Cipher. I have had literally almost a dozen messages on Twitter and the last couple of days people showing me that they are in fact making the playoffs, they are in fact getting their bys, they are in fact winning that cash, and all the kind words here for the stats Overbeat, Cipher, Fantasy Freestyle, the Spitting Statistician, and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. So let's keep it going.
We now look ahead to week fourteen. I'm gonna give you some spotlight games, some diamonds in the rough, and some fool gaze these guys you need to forget about. I'm also I'm gonna ask you a couple of questions, like ethical questions in fantasy football, Like, for example, is it all right to tank in certain situations? Is it all right to pick up guys on the waiver wire just to block your opponent? For example, let's say the guy you're playing in the playoffs this week, or Gal,
has you know Rob Gronkowski at tight end? Has zach Ertz at tight end? Are you picking up who you think is their best possible replacement just to block them. We're gonna get into that a little bit later on, and as always, we will open up the phone lines and take your calls. The number two call is eight
four four, eight, four, three, six, eight, seven nine. I also gotta pull question up on Twitter, as we always do at spitting Speeds if you want to follow us, if you want to be down with the stats, overbeat Cipher as well. The question I have there is not a three way tie in the a f C West. You got the Los Angeles Chargers, you got the Oakland Raiders, and you got the Kansas City Chiefs. Who do you
think is gonna win that division? And are they actually a contender in the a f C with other heavyweights like the Steelers and the Pats or maybe even the Jags coming out of the a f C South. How long is that you know division win? Or A lot of people at the beginning of the season was saying that the a f C West could get three teams in the playoffs, and the Broncos were one of them at that point. Do you still feel that way? Who do you think will win the a f C West?
That is our poll question today. I'm gonna actually do a little bit of a reset of my playoff picks. I'll tell you what I said at the beginning of the season, I'll tell you what I think now as well, and we'll also get people set up and ready for a week fourteen, whether it is your first playoff week or your last week or the regular season. I got your coverage. You know what it is. It should boy, Dame Martinez. We're gonna help you blow up like a
Samsung seven. Come all right back, all right, because we're gonna get into this with practice reports. Some very interesting ones are in New Orleans. You know, we're gonna do big things as we always do here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hey, I'm Frank Stanfel, and here is Greg Sussman of the Fantasy Football Best Friends Forever. What can you tell me about the d k MS Big Game Challenge. All you need to do is answer four tribute questions correctly, and you are going to the Big
Game in Minnesota on Febuary fourth. How do we get involved? Keep listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every day and find out what we're playing. The showtime changes to make sure you're always locking loading and you can be into you because make sure you listen to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network every day up until the Big Game, because we're trying to get away tickets for you in Minnesota. It's a big Game Trivia Challenge sponsored by d k
MS only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. It's your boy, Dame Martinez holding you down. On a Wednesday, a lot of holiday parties continue to make it happen over here at Studio thirty four. If you want to have your holiday parton over here at Rock and Riley Studio thirty four, let him know put
in a good word. Say yo speeds. The spitting statistician told me I could have my holiday party over here, and uh, you know maybe uh, I'll have a drink with you. You know it'll be cool. All right, let's keep it moving here. Wednesday, as I always tell you, it's a big day for practice reports. Uh it's the baseline, to be quite honest. Sometimes you get people that are
missing practice but they're just managing their reps. But it does set the baseline to see if they go from not practicing to a limited practice or from limited to full or two d n P. So this starts the trend. So let me give it to you guys right now. Tyrod Taylor did not practice with that knee injury. Remember he was carded off last week against the Pats. I do not expect him to go. It could be Nate Peterman under center. What does that do for a guy
like Shady McCoy in your playoff week? Adrian Peterson did not practice again for the Arizona Cardinals. He's still dealing with that neck injury. Sterling Shepherd did not practice, this time with a hamstring injury. You know, I don't know if you guys. Remember there was an artist named Callise and she had a song called my Neck, My Back. And that's what I think about with Sterling Shepherd right now,
because it's been his hamstring, his ankle, his migraines. If it's not one thing, it is another with Sterling Shepherd. But he did not practice today. Joe Mixon did not practice today. Remember you got banged up on Monday Night football. He is still in the concussion protocol. So is zach Ertz the tight end in Philadelphia. Let me tell you something, Giovanni Bernard great plug in play filling low price on DFS. You may hear that name when I give out my
DFS lineup on Friday. And as it relates to zach Ertz, if he doesn't go this week. Trey Burton is a guy that they like in Philadelphia and in limited action has performed relatively well. So if you are stuck, maybe you're not as stuck. I did, however, give you some waiver wire ads on yesterday's show, and I told you I like Steven Anderson on the Houston Texans. If you need a tight end filling, let's say you have Zach Ertz. Let's say you have Rob Gronkowski in your playoffs this week.
And here's this is very interesting. Mark Ingram did not practice again for the second day in a row. The New Orleans Saints kick off Week fourteen on Thursday Night Football tomorrow. Mark Ingram practiced in a limited basis on Monday, then did not practice yesterday and today. With that toe injury, that could be very interesting. And wow, if you liked Alvin Kamara before, imagine what he could be now without mark Ingram potentially suiting up for the Saints. Calvin Benjamin
practiced on a limited basis. He's coming back from that knee injury. This is his first practice in three weeks, so maybe he will get out there. Doug Martin returned to practice as well. Remember he was in the concussion protocol. He was on a limited basis. But here's the thing that really muddies the waters there in Tampa Bay. You know, we talked about pop Quiz Jocquiz Rodgers. Then we heard that Peyton Barb would start and he looked good, right,
So he was a big ad on waiver wires. But I told you guys yesterday, I like Peyton Barber only if Doug Martin was not back. Now you add Doug Martin to the mix, and you have a three headed committee. Charles sims In passing downs as well. I fade the Tampa Bay running back situation at this point. And Matthew Stafford for the Lions. They say his hand is not broken, it's just swelling right now. But quote unquote, he is not out of the woods. Jest yet. Jake Ruddick their backup.
Who Jake Ruddick, their backup? Who Jake Ruddick their backup is getting snaps in practice? His hand is not broken, Stafford, But they're saying, with the swelling and all that it's likely a grip issue and if he can't grip the ball, he won't be able to throw the ball. Also, practicing. Get this for the first time in a while, Chris Hogan is practicing. Remember he's had that shoulder injury for
a while. I think this is great timing for Hogan owners, because maybe he's coming back in a week where there is no Rob Gronkowski. I actually believe this helps out a guy like Danny Ammon Dola. I actually believe. I love what this does for Rex birkehead All right, check this out. I got this whole question up, which six and six team wins the a f C West right now? And we have like over two hundred people voting so far. I just had enough for about an hour, so over
two thirty people voting. It is a runaway right now. Seventy of you think that the Los Angeles Chargers are going to win the a f C West. I know that makes a couple of people happy out there in Los Angeles. And we're gonna probably talk to my guy, Nick Levirani, who we've had on the show a few times. He's my West Coast corresponding. We talked about a couple of times. I want to ask him a couple of things. One, you know, the l A Rams, the l A Chargers
all viable for the playoffs. And also the Rams had to cancel practice today. Remember now, there are all those wildfires out there in California. Out there in UH where they're practicing, it's they're saying it's raining ash. Remember earlier in the year the Raiders had some practice concerns with
the air quality out there as well. So we're gonna ask him, you know, if he's wearing a mask out there, We're gonna bring him in probably tomorrow to talk a little Chargers, a little Rams, and a little air quality out there in California. A lot of people out there and right now like the Los Angeles Chargers to win the a f C West. Now, I want to tell you I'm gonna do a little bit of a playoff reset here at the beginning of the season. Let me
tell you something my best calls. As you know, because I've been talking about it all season long, I had the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. I had them winning the NFC East. Before the season started, everybody was talking about Dallas. Everybody was talking about the New York Giants. I, on the other hand, was telling you I really, as a sleeper pick, loved the Philadelphia Eagles.
That was definitely something I had, right. You know who I originally had as my Super Bowl champion coming out of the a f C. I had the Pittsburgh Steelers. A lot of people thought, oh, Ben doesn't have it anymore. After that game against Jacksonville, I was like, no, no, no, look at their schedule. They're playing all their road games and starts to open up. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I like the Pittsburgh Steels at the beginning of the season to be in the Super Bowl. Not bad,
not bad. I also in the a f C West, I told you I had the Raiders, then the Chargers, then the Chiefs, than the Broncos. Not bad, not bad. I also was dramatically fading, you know, the Dallas Cowboys. I faded the Denver Broncos. I faded the Cincinnati Bengals. I faded all of those theme teams. I don't think will be sniffing the playoffs, but let's reset it right now. In the NFC, I think you gotta go Minnesota, you gotta go Philadelphia. I love New Orleans what they're doing.
I told you this evolution I've been talking about with this team This is not Drew Brees as a volume thrower. This is now a team that is relying on their run game and an improving defense. They're relying on their run game to sustain drives and improving defense. I think that makes them much tougher in the playoffs. And then I I like the Rams. I think the Rams come out of the West right now. I like what they're doing.
I like with McVeigh, I like the development of golf, and I like that that Wade Phillips defense is getting better and better. Okay, here's who I think of the wild cards. I like the Carolina Panthers as a wild card. And to be honest, for me, it came down to Seattle or Atlanta, and I flip flop on that all the time. I actually think Seattle is gonna get in there by the skin of their chinny chin chin, just
because Atlanta has a tougher schedule going forward. So the Super Bowl hangover could continue for the Super Bowl loser, maybe not making the playoffs again. No Atlanta, no Detroit, no Dallas for me. So those are the seeds and in the NFC Championship Game. Now, I'll still keep my Philadelphia Eagles who have been on all season long. But you know who I think beats them in the NFC Championship game right now? Stand up, get Kronk. I think
it's the New Orleans Saints. I listen, when you look at all these other teams, Minnesota, New Orleans, Philly, the Rams, right my other division winners, they don't have quarterbacks like Drew Brees. I think when the going gets tough in the playoffs, as it will in January, give me Drew Brees up against all these other quarterbacks, the Keenoms, you know, and the goths of the world. So I have the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl beating the Philadelphia Eagles.
On the a f C side, Listen, you got New England, you got Pittsburgh, right, I I telling you I think Oakland gets in in the a f C West. I think they um have the best matchups and are going the right way right now. And I like Jacksonville to win the a f C South. Give me the Chargers though, making the playoffs, and I think it's either the Ravens or the Tennessee Titans that get that last spot. Okay, So I think the Chiefs fall out, and I think you know, either Ravens or the Chargers don't make it.
I'm gonna put my a f C Championship game. I'm gonna put the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Jacksonville Jaguars. I think the Jaguars see the Patriots and I think they get pressure on Tom Brady and he throws a little tissy fit in his ugs with his avocados. That's what knocks out the Pats. And then I think in a revenge game, the Steelers get the Jaguars at home and in the Super Bowl fifty two. Give me. This was
my pick at the beginning of the year. I'm gonna keep it going right now, I now have the Pittsburgh Steelers over the New Orleans Saints as my modified Super Bowl pick. And here's what I think. I'm just keep completing the narrative, right. I think Ben then rides out
and retires. And here's the kicker of it all. I think that after a Super Bowl championship with the Pittsburgh Steelers, I think Levy on Bell, if he sees Big Ben Roethlisberger walking away, I think Levy on Bell tests himself on the open market because he doesn't want to be part of a rebuild in Pittsburgh. If Big Ben walks away, and wow, if Levian Bell could potentially be in the open market, you will see him making a lot more than he was hoping to get from Pittsburgh than he
was hoping to get as a franchise tag. Then he was gonna get any other way. So that's the way I have it breaking down. As always, you can hold me accountable right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the fan to See Sports Radio Network. Alright, so check it out when we come back. Here's what we're gonna do. We're going to uh go into Week fourteen some of
the spotlight games. I'm gonna give you some diamonds and full gazes, and we're gonna handle some ethical questions about fantasy football that you may be seeing or contemplating in your leagues right now towards the end of the season. It's your boy, Dave Martinez Speeds the spitting statistician, and you're listening live right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Hunter, Henry Sterling, Shepherd, Michael Thomas.
These three NFL softmores are not due to slump. They're due to break out, just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network in year two, things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and tell o the app f and t s y or Radio. It's free and it's twenty four seven, the best Fantasy sports on ten. He's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. My neck, my back, you know what it is. That's my man, the manimal Brecker Pavona. They don't call him the best producer in the game
for nothing, blowing up like a Samsung seven. But I'll tell you the troll is gonna troll out there. I got hit up right away. Apparently that was not Callise. Callise brought her you know her milkshake, brought all the boys to the yards. Apparently that was Kia. I got my k female artists mixed up from about ten years ago. I apologize. But Sterling Shepherd, there's always something going on with him. His neck, his back. We shall see. All right,
check this out. Here's what we're gonna do. I wanna, you know, hop into some of the Spotlight games for week fourteen, give you my diamonds in the rough and my fantasy gazies. What we're also gonna do right now, We're gonna open up the phone lines. Okay, so the number of call is eight four four eight four three
six eight seven nine. Let's get it popping with the hashtag stats over beats and my cipher, you know, all of the cipher, because we come together, we help each other out, and we help you win your leagues and win that cash. One of the games that I am very interested in on Sunday as the Vikings in Carolina to take on the Panthers. The Panthers are two and a half point home underdogs, and if you listen to the show, you know the way I feel about home underdog.
So I bring this up because, yes, listen, I went against my own trend last week. You know, I was telling people in picking Washington against the home dog Dallas. Dallas did its thing. I was telling people about Pittsburgh on Monday night football against the home dog Cincinnati. Pittsburgh won the game, but they did not cover the five or five and a half point spread. The home dog trend continues to roam and we have another example here. Um. First of all, it looks like Greg Olsen is going
to be back. It's at home, they're playing on grass. Remember Olsen was held out for that game on turf last week. So I think you could fire up Greg Olsen. Remember somehow of Greg Olson still available in your league, and you have Zach Ertz or you have Rob Gronkowski, that could be a very viable option. Now here's the thing. Minnesota was incredibly impressive in their win last week on the road against Atlanta. But check this out. Now, now they go to Carolina. This is going to be the
Vikings third road game in a row. Remember on Thanksgiving I believe they were at Detroit in the you know, traditional game, right, so that's one. Then last week they were at Atlanta. They got that win and that was a great you know, that was a great game. You know, they got that win. But then um, they also now are in Carolina. That is three games in a row.
There has to be some level of fatigue for the Minnesota Vikings, Okay, and I'm kind of betting on that, if you want to know the truth, I do not. I think this could be the week that case Keenum throws lays the egg. This could be the week. Remember the Carolina Panthers are a good defense, all right, they are a good defense, and I think this could be the one three game three road games in a row a good defense. This could be where case Keenum drops
the egg. I know a lot of people are talking about they love case Keenum and but I'm finding other options. There was a caller yesterday's show that was asking about case Keenum or Jimmy Garoppolo. I like Jimmy Garoppolo better this week. Okay, I think case Keenum. I'm a little bit worried about case Keenum this week. Like I said, third road game in a row and they have a much better defense. My diamond in this game, though, is Christian McCaffrey. Boyd. I love Christian McCaffrey in this game.
You know about the Minnesota Vikings secondary right, you know about Xavier Bumpy Roads Roads Closed. You know about Terrence Newhom in The Ageless Wonder. I think they have the ability to shut down a receiver like Devon fund just. I think Christian McCaffrey is going to be the alternative out of the backfield. And here's the other thing. The Vikings are also good against the run. So I don't think Jonathan Stewart really as the plotter. I don't think he does much in this game. I think this is
Cam and I think this is Christian McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey, Bovona is my diamond and the Roughs. Yeah, in the same vein. You know. Also the Minnesota defense kind of plays it the same way. So I, once again, and I've said this before, I like Jack McKinnon over Latavius Murray. I've been saying that for weeks and it came true last week. I hope you stick with it, my fool gay Zey for this game. I'm telling you right now, I said it before. It's Devin Funchius. Listen, Xavier Rhodes
has locked up Julio Jones. You know, he's locked up much better wide receivers than Devn Funches. If you have Funchies and you're gonna call me with an option of this guy or Devon Funcious, I am fading Devon Funcious against Xavier Bumpy Roads. In my opinion, Devon Funcius this week is a fantasy fool gazy forgot about him wrong. What means phony, that's right. I think Devin Funcius will
wind up being fool gaze. That means a phony. And I actually think that the streak comes a little bit too and end I think the Vikings if they truly want to go to Teddy Bridgewater. Case Keenum in this game will give them their opportunity. I think that's a stupid move and they shouldn't do it, regardless of what case Keendom does. But I actually like the Panthers at home to end the wind streak of the Minnesota Vikings.
They're getting two and a half points. I like the Carolina Panthers at home this week against the one seed in the n f C. Check this out. We're also talking about like some ethical decisions. I was like, Yo, can you pick up people to block others? Check this out? Big shout out to my man Obama Texan on Twitter. Okay, he's part of the stats over beat cipher. Check this out. He hits me up right away and says, funny you mentioned blocking the opponent. My opponent has gronk, So I
picked up Steven Anderson to block him. Says I'll take my chances. If he wants Charles Clay, you might be his bench guy. How do you feel about that? Hey, Bavona, let me bring you in over here to manimal right there on the ones and twos. Heyo, Bavona, what do
you think about that. Seeing if your playoff opponent, like you know, has injuries or suspensions or concerns, and you know he's gonna be on the waiver wire for another quarterback or another tight end, and you just use the bottom of your roster to kind of pick up options that this guy or gal might have to try to block them. Is that fair or foul? Bavona? That's fair man, that's all listen man, there's no love in the game
of fantasy. I say, do it. O' gonna block that guy from if it's his fault for not having that guy as a part of his injury. Absolutely, And remember I told the people about a month ago, a long time mo goal. I told you guys how to start to organize yourself for the playoffs. I told you about that. I told you the importance of these handcuffs and doing things absolutely like that. Let me ask you another question, Bavona.
There are some leagues, like you know, say like a dynasty league where they do funky rules for the draft order. You know what I mean, like uh um, oh, it's the team, you know, the team with the worst record or the team with the lowest points gets the number one overall pick. That being said, at this point of the year, right, Let's say you're in a league where
Week fourteen is the last regular season week. Are you okay with people who are like there are some people I've seen mass dropping their entire team, you know, or mass dropping their stars so that they score zero points and get themselves in a position for a better draft pick. Are you in position? Are you in favor of fantasy tanking? No, I'm not, absolutely not, he put because the whole idea
is that you gotta keep your team. Hee's going, all right, I don't understand what's the big deal with where you I got when I'm when I'm in the fantasy playoffs, I know this. All I care about is who I'm playing that week. It doesn't matter how many points they scored. It doesn't matter how many points that they scored the week before that. What matters is that that's the team you're playing. And really, someone like Skyng always says this, you can only worry about your team if you really
are going to tank. I'm telling you right now, I hope you end up losing. That's your own fall. There you go, Bavona comes out strong. Maybe the guy you pick with that number one overall pick next year winds up having a horrible injury early in the season. A Lah. Allen Robinson A Lah. David Johnson A LA. Beckham Jr. You know these things can in fact happen. Here's the
other reason why I agree with you, Bavona. I'm completely cool with picking up people to block your opponents, but I am not cool with the mass dropping or the tanking.
Here's why. If you drop your players like your studs, then all of a sudden, like Julio Jones A J. Green, you leave Yon bell Is out there for pick up for other teams that are in the playoffs, and then all of a sudden, you know, you're not only you know, trying to tank for your team, you're also gifting, you know, a stud to another team that is going to pick him up. I think that is quite, frankly, the bigger question at play. All Right, here's what we're gonna do.
I know people are calling to try and get into the stats overbeat cipher. The number of call is eight four eight four three six eight seven nine. The phone lines are open and we have callers, So let's get into it right now. First up on the fantasy freestyle is Sam in Virginia. Hey, Sam, you're you're talking football. We're talking fantasy football with speeds and spitting statistician. I hope week thirteen was lucky for you. I hope you
still have, you know, decisions to make because you're playoff bound. Sam. What's going on? So? Yeah? One last weekend nine four seed. That's awesome, man, that's awesome. How can we help you? So? I have two quick questions. My first one is, um, do you think Delaney Walker will go this week? I's not sure. I pick up Cameron Brad Okay, fair enough. You know you can't tell. It's too early in the week. A lot of times the practice reports changed over the week.
If Delaney Walker plays, I like his matchup. But you asked Sam about Cameron Braid. I mentioned him yesterday in my Waiver wire ad uh segment because I do, in fact like Cameron Braid. Make America bread again. Sam. Here's the thing. Braid was great, especially when Jamis Winston was the quarterback. When they went to Ryan Fitzpatrick. That's when
we started seeing O. J. Howard and others. Okay, and kind of bread fade into black now that Jamis is back, it looks like Jamis really likes Cameron Braid, especially in the red zone. So if you are in that situation, Sam, yes, I think Cameron Braid is a viable option. The one guy I like better that I'll tell you about, Sam if you didn't hear my segment yesterday, is Steven Anderson on the Houston Texans. This is a guy who's really like pretty much a wide receiver. Okay, he ran like
a four six at the combine. C J fedor It's just went to I r um Bruce Ellington went to I r Will Fuller. They do not expect back yet. And this kid, Steven Anderson, I think you want like s five for seventy nine and a touchdown last week. So I think he's a viable option if, like we said, Delaney Walker does not go. Thanks for the call, though, Sam, When we come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we
have more callers to get to. We're gonna service the callers here because I want to help the status over beat Cipher win their leagues and win that cash. And like I said, though, you know it's competition, because all fair and love and war, can you pick up people to block others? I think it's okay. I'd like to know what your thoughts are as well. Hippy up on Twitter at spitting speeds and give me a phone call if you want at eight four four four three seven nine.
We go right back to the calls up next here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Have you ever wanted to have a fantasy expert in the palm of your hand, for better yet, in the pocket of your khakis. We'll check it out now you can. It's a Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. Download it down to your phone. We promised, no weird viruses, no strange tracking things, just twenty four hours a day, seven days a week of pure fantasy knowledge dropping all

Yeah, you can hate me now, but I won't stop now. You can hate me now, but I won't stop now. Welcome back. It is the Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I was telling you about the caller, about how I like Steven Anderson potentially at tight end He's kind of one of these more agile tight ends,
like an Evan Ingram kind of type. Uh, you know, Brucellington to I R. C. J. Fedora, what's the I are earlier report though head coach Bill O'Briant saying that the Texans are quote unquote hopeful that Will Fuller comes back this week. When they say the word hopeful on a Wednesday, I'm not buying it. So I think that Anderson is viable, and of course the d hop DeAndre Hopkins is viable as well. And we got some suspension news. The Chiefs have suspended Marcus Peters for the game against Oakland.
Remember he threw the flag into the stands against the Jets at the end of a game. I think, let me tell you something. I think that Michael Crabtree is a great DFS play this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. We'll talk more about DFS on Friday. Also, Bengal safety Georgia Coola. This is the guy who tried to have
that kill shot at Antonio Brown. He had his suspension rescinded. Instead, he's only gonna have a thirty five thousand dollar fine, Only thirty five thousand dollar fine, but I mean still, um, I thought that that was more egregious even to be honest, than what Judrew smith Schuster did. Juju smith Schuster was a legal block. You know, it was his tawn thing that got the flag, and I guess ultimately the suspension. What the Bengal safety was doing was to me like
a kill shot. He was. It was he was focused on nailing a b and taking him out of the game because the ball to pass hit him in the shoulder. If he has had any kind of awareness of who was actually playing football, he would have just picked it. But instead he was focused on the kill shot. I think that was interesting. Also, check this out guys on Twitter.
Um uh. You know Bama Texan, who I said was picking people up to block his opponent this week in the playoffs, who had Rob Gronkowski, got back to me and said he has Evan Ingram. So if other people are is a no go. If Barber is a no go. And by the way, Bamba Texan, because I know you're listening, Yo. Doug Martin back at practice today. That muddies the water over there a little bit. He says he's gonna keep going.
He's gonna keep dropping some of his back end players and pick up other two tight end options to block his opponent. My man Craig out there on Twitter at Dusty says, check this out another kind of ethical thing. He took a loss in week thirteen on purpose because he wanted to have a specific playoff matchup against his boss at work. Not because it's a better matchup, but because he wants to take down the number one seed,
and that was his only opportunity. You the only way to guarantee that matchup against the number one seed his boss. I don't know if that work dynamic if you're playing against like your boss, if you're playing against your wife, which we've seen before. By the way, Jilly Dilley, hope your your husband's lineup is still undefeated out there. I
know you can't send me screenshots anymore, Jilly Dilley to you. Um. He also Craig actually also says he picked up two people off the waive a wire to block his boss. I wonder what the Christmas review of the year end bonus thing is gonna look like. But that's a little bit. That's a little bit from the stats over beat cipher. We keep it going with the stats over beat cipher as we open continue to open up the phone lines, and we go to California where Carlos is on the
line dropping stats over beats. He's in the cipher with spitting speeds. Hey, Carlo skin, Okay, what is the air out there? And there's the wildfires going on out there? What's going on? Man? Is it safe out there? Carls? It was SPEEDI okay, I'm actually in the Bay Area. Okay, so you're you're you're you're saying out there, alright, fair enough, fair enough. It was cloudy when when it was up in Napa before though, so uh but yeah, I'm in northern California. All right, we shall see. But yeah, how
can I help you out for Week fourteen? Go check this out? In one of my leagues, I started one in four PPR leagues, and then somehow I ran into the f n t S y uh channel on YouTube, started listening to y'all PFFS and you yo, I won't out allow. And now I'm in the playoffs. I'm in three leagues and then I'm in the playoffs with the league. That's not a couple questions. That's what's up. That is a great plug right there for the fantasy freestyle. Hey, Buvona,
can we clip that? I am overwhelmed. People are hit me up on Twitter saying that I helped them to their playoffs. You're calling in and thank you you yo, Carlos, thank you for the kind words. I really it matters to me. I appreciate it. I'm glad that f n T s Y the Fantasy freestyle helped get you to your playoffs. But let's keep it going. Man. Getting to the playoffs is only the first horizon. Let's get you that chips. You can win your league and win that cash.
What's going on, Carlos? All right? I saw that a couple of questions PPR league. Should I go with my wide receivers? I'm pretty stack reading bag um my wide receivers that I'm thinking about my Cabins, Marcus Goodwin, Margaret and Jones Jr. Or Jamison Crowder? And then my other question, should I go with Carson Wanz or Jerry Goss? No problem, no problem, stay on the line right now, because I
only heard the wide receivers for now. Okay, Carlos, the wide receiver question, it's a it's a PPR league, right, so here's the thing. How many of those wide receivers do you need, Carlos? Just two? Because I'm stack at the running bag. Okay, just too fair enough. So here's the thing. Here's the thing, Carlos, I'm worried about Matthew Stafford's hand. I'm worried about Matthew Stafford's hand at this point. So Marvin Jones is out for me, okay, because I'm
worried about Matthew Stafford. To me, Mike Evans is the auto play. You gotta play Mike Evans. You can't sit your stud Mike Evans and then have this be the week. I know he hasn't lived up to expectations, but you can't have him on your bench in the playoffs and then have that be the week he pops off. You will kill yourself and then you won't listen to the Fantasy Sports Network anymore. So I want Mike Evans and I like I like Marky's Goodwin. I like what he
did with Jimmy Garoppolo. He put it in my eye last week. I like Markey's Goodwin and Jimmy Garoppolo going forward, So I would go Evans and Goodwin. What was the running back question. Okay, yeah, Carson Wentz or Jared Goff. I know they're playing again, they're playing against each other, they're playing against each other. I would go Wentz just because I like the Rams run game better, right, so I could see a universe where Todd Gurley does his thing. The Eagles run game is a little bit more of
a clouded picture. I think they're gonna rely on Carson went in the passing game a little bit more. So that's what I have get. Okay, Carlos. I appreciate all the kind words. Next is this Chris and Sacramento. Yeah, what's going on? Man? How are you feeling? How can we help um? Nothing much? Man? First off, you know you're getting a lot of left from Cali today. Man, I want to thank you the last week. You know you can stop you away from the man. Thank you, yo,
thank you for the kind words. I appreciate that. Chris. Obviously, you know nobody loves their own listeners and their audience better than Speeds with the stats overbeat Cipher. Heyo, Chris, let's keep it going on. Oh baby, let's get another w all right? Yeah, so I got tech in tomorrow or Marquis Lee on my bench. Um, you know which one are you leaving into? Would I would definitely go
Mark Easley. I would definitely go markis Lee. Ted get Jr. Has faded a little bit, had a hot start, has faded a little bit least need even caught some balls, and this team is running the ball a lot more. I know Ingram is banged up right now, but this has become Camara and Thomas, you know, So I would go away from Ted Ginn. I would go with Marquis Lee. Okay, cool, yeah, thanks anytime anytime. You know, California is loving the spitting
statistician today. I appreciate it. We go from California all the way to the other side of the country, a true friend of the show, Billy Dilley to our guy Pete and Staten Island. Hey Pete, how's it going? Man? Alright? What's up? Speed Listen? You know I'm doing all right? You know you know I went with the Chiefs last week because I told you about Andy. Yeah, and you know what, Um, I did make a block. I am
gonna make a block tonight. Really, the guy in front of me has Grumpy and Brave is available, So I'm gonna grab available. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I'm to grab him now. The guy behind me, he's end also, so I'll let him pick up Anderson. Okay, am I worried
about that right now? Um, as far as my lineup this week, thank you for last week, because I remember I sit here, I like try Rolle Williams as a sleeper, and I said, you don't forget about right, You said, don't forget about Benjamin, right, So you know what, I picked up Benjamin and he had a decent game and I worked out for you you know, yeah he did. Okay,
you know what we got this now this week. I can't pick up good when I wanted to, but I can't pick up the other guy, the slot receiver Taylor, who yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm I'm I'm lukewarm on Taylor. Our guy Chris Venture down there. We were talking about that in the Fantasy put a Misery a little bit before. I'm like, it's still the San Francisco
forty Niners though, Pete, you know what I mean. And so like all of a sudden, you think that's good to be enough production for like Goodwin and obviously Carlos Hide and Tailor to eat I can't get behind it necessarily, Pete. I like the way you're thinking, because I saw he did have a good game, and he is the guy out of the slot. He could be the next like West. Welcome for him. Um, but I think that's a little bit of a stretch for me personally. Pet One thing
did you say did not practice this week? I haven't gotten the practice report on Abdulla. I'll have to check that for you. He didn't go. If he doesn't go, I love Riddick though, alright, but what about the other guy that went no, no, no, I wouldn't do that. It's the same thing to me. You look at real deep right there, Pete. No, I wouldn't go the slot guy in San franc I wouldn't go the backup. What is that, Dion? Something I think it was, I wouldn't
do that. I wouldn't do that either, Pete. At this point, I like the way you're thinking. But don't over tinker, man, Okay, be happy with what you got and called me back up. Next on the Fantasy Freestyle is Chris in Florida. Hey, Chris, you're on the stats over beat Cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle with speeds was good man. Thank you wat work forgetting me remember one to see. Thank you absolutely, Chris. Anytime you got a question, are you on by? Because
you're good, You're good to go. I'm on by, but I am I have a laiter question um for weeks thirteen to set me up for the championship. Obviously, what's up? Real quick? Where all right? So drop? I gotta peake him up. I need to drop either often, Jamal Williams. Do you own Melvin Gordon? Do you own Melvin Gordon? Oh? You do? So? Then don't drop Eckler because God forbid? But Gordon gets hurt this week when you're on your by, you know what I mean? Um, So, if you like
Duke Johnson, it was Eckler, it was Jamal Williams. I wouldn't drop him. Who else? Alfred Morris? I would up Alfred Morris. I know he popped off, but that was an interesting situation with game script in his favor. I would rather ride with Duke Johnson than Alfred Morris. But thanks for the call. When we come back, we're gonna
try and get to some other callers. I see you out there at Dannie, Ohio and out there in Mississippi, will try to get to you when we come back right here at the Fantasy Free Stop on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Fantasy Freestyle. This was my pick at the beginning of the year. I'm gonna keep it going right now. I now have the Pit sperb Steelers over the New Orleans Saints as my modified Super Bowl pick. I think Ben then rides out and retires. And here's
the kicker of it all. If he sees Big Ben Roethlisberger walking away, I think Lady On Bell tests himself on the Open Market week Case from seven to eight p m. E. Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Yeah, we're back on the Fantasy Freestyle. We got that whole question up on the a f C West. Seventy three percent of you think the Chargers with that division, say the Chiefs right the ship and win that division, and eleven percent of you have the Raiders winning the f
C West. Three percent of you still think that the Denver Broncos are viable. I find that very interesting. I appreciate everybody hollering at me, sending kind words that they're in the playoffs. Let's try and help some more people out. We only got a couple of minutes, but we got some calls to get to ja Is and I believe it's Mississippi down south. What's going on? Jay? How can we help you in the playoffs from a Week four team? And you can help me with another victory like you've
been here to move with? I shall try. What do you got for me? And I got? I got two different questions I got. I got a two line of questions. First, I'm start too hard if I need I need a running back and to flick all right, real quick? I got Jamal Williams, Peayton Barber, McKinnon, standards, Kail Goodwin, and Mike Wallace. All right, So I love Giovanni Bernard this week because there's no Joe mixing in the concussion protocol. I'm off Peyton barbera with Doug Martin coming back. So
I love Giovanni Bernard. Is this PPR standard JAR standard? All right? Because it is standard? I like Jamal Williams. If it was PPR, I would have liked McKinnon, But I like Giovanni Bernard and I like Jamal Williams. I'm sorry, j That's all we got time for today because we're up against the end of the show, and I got one more caller. Do me a favor if you want call back tomorrow, will continue to set your line up and tell Chris Bavona that you're j Mississippi, that we
didn't get to your second question. Will prioritize you tomorrow for sure. My last caller tonight, though, on the Fantasy Freestyle is Danny in Ohio. Hey Danny, real quick, we're up against the end of the show. But uh, what's your question? You're on the Fantasy Freestyle, Hey, Speed, I got a line of question. Uh. I need three running backs here, uh Freeman, PPR Freeman, Miller Hunt and Christian McCaffrey. And also I need a wide receiver digs or a
good one fair enough. Um. On the running back side, you gotta have Davante Freeman because it's PPR, I love CMC Christian McCaffrey this week. So you're down to Lamar Miller and Kareem Hunt. Um. Everyone else in this world will tell you Lamar Miller, I might tell you Kareem Hunt.
I think you can kind of go either way. I understand Lamar Miller with all the guys that they're losing you know, still probably no Will Fuller, no c J. Fedora with his out, Bruce Ellington is out, but something tells me that Andre Ellington may get some more work in Texas. I'm gonna go Freeman, Christian McCaffrey, and then I'm gonna surprise you, and I'm gonna go Kareem Hunt
over Lamar Miller out there. All right there, Danny, That's the way I would go as it relates to the wide receivers you have Stefan can you Digs in it? Or Marquis Goodwin? And that's interesting. Let me tell you something. You know, Diggs hasn't truly popped off in a long time. And I liked what I saw. I really did. I really liked what I saw with Marquis Goodwin and Jimmy Garoppolo the San Francisco forty Niners. This week they are
in Houston and that is a defense that can be had. Meanwhile, Minnesota is at Carolina and that's a much better defense. So give me Marky's Goodwin. So to completely answer your question at running back, I like Freeman, I like CMC, and I like a little bit of a bounce back from Kareem Hunt and at wide receiver, give me Marky's goodwin whoever you like. What you can do is go on over to Daily roado dot com slash d k ms. We're doing free DFS contest every week of the season.
